The first feature "below", "below" and "below" the second feature can be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-7As shown, this application discloses an outdoor kitchen, also known as a mobile kitchen, which is placed outdoors for users to prepare, grill, or bake ingredients during outdoor meals. Its structure includes a kitchen island 1, which is the core component of the outdoor kitchen. The island 100 typically includes a central island 100, which is constructed from cabinets joined or assembled. A work surface 101 is provided on top of the island 1 for placing kitchen utensils and preparing ingredients. The cabinets of the island 1 can hold bowls, chopsticks, tableware, and built-in kitchen appliances such as ovens and steamers. Similarly, the work surface 101 of the island 1 is recessed to form a sink for convenient washing of vegetables or tableware. In other words, the kitchen island 1 of this embodiment possesses the basic functions of a related art kitchen.

[0036] The outdoor kitchen of the above embodiment has a canopy 3 above the kitchen island 1. This canopy 3 provides rain and sun protection, making the user more comfortable when preparing food. The canopy 3 is generally more than 2 meters above the ground. To facilitate the installation of the canopy 3, this embodiment also includes a lifting column 2 and a drive assembly. The lifting column 2 connects the kitchen island 1 and the canopy 3, and is used to adjust the height of the canopy 3 relative to the kitchen island 1. The drive assembly is connected to the lifting column 2 and is used to drive the lifting column 2 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the canopy 3. Specifically, see... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting column 2 includes a first component 200 and at least one second component 201 that extends and retracts axially relative to the first component 200. The first component 200 is fixedly connected to the kitchen island 1, and the second component 201 extends upward out of the work surface 101 and is connected to the ceiling 3. The drive assembly includes a housing 5 and a drive rod 500 that extends and retracts axially relative to the housing 5. The housing 5 is connected to the first component 200, and the free end of the drive rod 500 is connected to the second component 201. The drive assembly also includes a drive mechanism, which is tractively connected to the drive rod 500 for driving the drive rod 500 to extend and retract to move the second component 201 relative to the first component 200, so that the height of the ceiling 3 relative to the kitchen island 1 is adjustable.

[0037] In some other embodiments of the above-mentioned drive assembly, the housing 5 of the drive assembly can be connected to the second component 201, and the free end of the drive rod 500 can be connected to the first component 200. When the drive assembly extends or retracts, it can drive the second component 201 to move relative to the first component 200.

[0038] In the embodiment, the lifting column 2 connecting the roof 3 and the kitchen island 1 of the outdoor kitchen can be lifted under the drive of the drive assembly, so that the height of the roof 3 relative to the kitchen island 1 is adjustable. Therefore, when the roof 3 is installed, the drive assembly drives the lifting column 2 to descend to the lowest position, so that the user can easily complete the installation of the roof 3 by standing on the ground. After the roof 3 is installed, the lifting column 2 is driven to ascend by the drive assembly, so that the roof 3 is lifted to the appropriate height. Therefore, when the roof 3 is installed, the outdoor kitchen does not need to be installed by climbing, which avoids the personnel falling from a high place, and only one person can complete the installation of the roof 3, so that the installation of the roof 3 is simple, convenient, and labor-saving. Similarly, when it is windy or rainy, the lifting column 2 can be driven to descend to a certain height by the drive assembly, so as to improve the wind resistance of the roof 3. When cleaning or removing the dust or snow on the roof 3, the lifting column 2 can also be driven to descend to a certain height, so as to facilitate the cleaning or snow removal work. When the outdoor kitchen is placed outdoors and encounters rainy and snowy weather, the lifting column 2 can be driven to lower the roof 3 to a lower position, and the roof 3 completely covers the operation table 101 of the kitchen island 1, so as to avoid the operation table 101 being wetted by rain and snow. Furthermore, the lifting column 2 connecting the roof 3 is fixedly connected with the kitchen island 1, so that the roof 3, the lifting column 2 and the kitchen island 1 form an integral whole, which is convenient for outdoor carrying.

[0039] Further in the above embodiment, the first part 200 and the second part 201 of the lifting column 2 are both hollow pipes, and the second part 201 is slidingly sleeved on the first part 200, and the housing 5 and the drive rod 500 of the drive assembly are connected in the first part 200 along the height direction of the first part 200. The housing 5 of the drive assembly is connected with a screw nut assembly, which is also called a screw nut pair, a linear drive mechanism, etc. It is a relatively mature component of related technology; the screw nut assembly is connected with the drive rod 500, and the drive mechanism is in transmission connection with the screw nut assembly, so as to drive the screw nut assembly to act to make the drive rod 500 extend or retract relative to the housing 5.

[0040] For example, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the second parts 201 of the lifting columns 2 are two and are sequentially and slidingly nested, the second part 201 on the inner side of the two second parts 201 is slidingly nested on the outer side of the first part 200, the bottom of the first part 200 is fixedly connected with the kitchen island 1 by bolts or other fasteners, the screw nut assembly is axially arranged in the first part 200, which includes a screw rod drivingly connected with the driving mechanism and a first driving nut threadedly connected with the screw rod, the first driving nut is fixedly connected with the middle pipe of the lifting column 2, the middle pipes of the nested lifting columns 2 can limit the rotation of the first driving nut, so that when the driving mechanism drives the screw rod to rotate, the first driving nut drives the second part 201 on the inner side to axially stretch and contract; and the outer side of the screw rod is further sleeved with a screw pipe which rotates synchronously with the screw rod and can axially slide relative to the screw rod, the outer side of the screw pipe is threadedly connected with a second driving nut, the second driving nut is connected with the second part 201 on the outermost side or the top of the lifting column 2, so that when the driving mechanism drives the screw rod to rotate, the two movable second parts 201 axially synchronously stretch and contract relative to the first part 200.

[0041] In other embodiments, the driving assembly can also be an electric push rod, an electric linear actuator or other related linear driving mechanism. In other embodiments, the number of the pipes of the lifting column 2 and the maximum height when fully expanded can be set according to the height of the ceiling 3, so the number and length of the first part 200 and the second part 201 are not limited in the application, as long as the purpose of vertically stretching and contracting under the driving of the driving mechanism can be achieved.

[0042] In the above embodiments, the driving mechanism of the driving assembly can be a driving motor 4 or a manually operated crank, so the lifting of the lifting column 2 can be electric or manual. When the lifting column 2 is electrically lifted, the driving motor 4 is drivingly connected with the screw nut assembly, specifically, the rotating shaft of the driving motor 4 is drivingly connected with the screw rod of the screw nut assembly through a gear box, so as to adjust the height of the ceiling 3 in an electric driving manner, so that the lifting of the ceiling 3 is more labor-saving and convenient; the user can also configure a controller and a hand controller or a remote controller for the driving motor 4, that is, a lifting controller is arranged on the kitchen island 1 or the lifting column 2, the lifting controller is communicatively connected with the driving motor 4, so as to remotely control the lifting of the ceiling 3, so that the lifting operation of the ceiling 3 is more intelligent. When the lifting column 2 is manually lifted, the driving mechanism is a crank, the driving end of the crank is drivingly connected with the screw rod of the screw nut assembly through a worm and gear assembly. The screw rod is driven to rotate by rotating the crank, so as to adjust the lifting of the ceiling 3, which is relatively labor-saving.

[0043] In the embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the lifting column 2, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a through hole 102 communicating with the interior of the kitchen island 1 is provided on the work surface 101. The lifting column 2 passes through the through hole 102, and the lower end of the first component 200 of the lifting column 2 is fixedly connected to the kitchen island 1 by fasteners. This arrangement connects the lifting column 2 and the kitchen island 1 as a whole, which not only facilitates outdoor use or transportation, but also enhances the wind resistance of the lifting column 2 and the canopy 3. Specifically, side frames 103 are connected to both ends of the central island 100 of the kitchen island 1. Each side frame 103 includes a side cabinet 104 connected to the central island 100 and a wire frame 105 connected to the side cabinet 104 and extending towards the user side of the central island 100. A fixed column 106 is connected to the end of the wire frame 105 away from the side cabinet 104, and the lifting column 2 is connected to the side cabinet 104. In this embodiment, the user side of the central island 100 is the side where people stand on the central island 100 to prepare food.

[0044] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two lifting columns 2, arranged along the length of the outdoor kitchen. The two lifting columns 2 are respectively connected to the side cabinets 104 of the two side frames 103. The top of the side cabinets 104 has through holes 102 for the lifting columns 2 to extend from. The upper ends of the second components 201 of the two lifting columns 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the ceiling 3. In one embodiment, each lifting column 2 is driven by a set of independent housings 5, drive rods 500, and drive mechanisms. In another embodiment, each of the two lifting columns 2 has a set of housings 5 ​​and drive rods 500, but is driven by a single drive mechanism in conjunction with a transmission rod. In yet another embodiment, there are four lifting columns 2 arranged in two rows and two columns, each lifting column 2 having a set of housings 5 ​​and drive rods 500, but driven by one or two drive mechanisms in conjunction with transmission rods.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, the canopy 3 includes a support frame 300 connected to the second component 201 of the lifting column 2 and a tarpaulin 301 covering the support frame 300. The tarpaulin 301 has the function of rain and sun protection, and the tarpaulin 301 covers the entire outdoor kitchen island 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the top of the second component 201 is fixedly connected with an adapter block 302, the adapter block 302 is fixedly connected with the support frame 300 of the ceiling 3 through fasteners; the top of the adapter block 302 is provided with a matching slope with the support frame 300, when the support frame 300 is connected on the adapter block 302, the height of the side of the ceiling 3 close to the user is higher than the height of the side of the ceiling 3 away from the user. That is, under the connection effect of the adapter block 302, the ceiling 3 presents an inclined state of high in front and low in back. In this way, it is convenient for the rainwater or dust on the top of the ceiling 3 to slide off, and it is convenient for the user to clean.

[0047] As can be understood, the ceiling 3 of the outdoor kitchen generally has a downwardly arranged eave, which has a sun-shading function and facilitates the downward flow of rainwater on the ceiling 3. In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the bottom of the support frame 300 at the corner is connected with a telescopic assembly 6, and the telescopic assembly 6 includes a first pipe 600 connected with the support frame 300 and a second pipe 601 slidingly sleeved on the first pipe 600, the lower end of the second pipe 601 is connected with the edge of the tarpaulin 301, the first pipe 600 and the second pipe 601 are respectively provided with positioning holes 602, and when the second pipe 601 is in an extended state, the positioning holes 602 on the second pipe 601 coincide with the positioning holes 602 on the first pipe 600, for plug-in locking of the connecting piece. The arrangement of the telescopic assembly 6 not only facilitates the fixation of the edge of the tarpaulin 301 with the support frame 300, but also forms a eave surrounding the periphery of the tarpaulin 301 after the edge of the tarpaulin 301 is fixed with the second pipe 601 of the telescopic assembly 6. As can be understood, in the embodiment, a connecting pin, a rope or the like connecting piece can be plugged into the aligned positioning holes 602 of the first pipe 600 and the second pipe 601, so that the position of the second pipe 601 relative to the first pipe 600 is fixed. When the tarpaulin 301 is disassembled, only the connecting piece needs to be removed, and the tarpaulin 301 can be easily removed from the telescopic assembly 6, which is simple and convenient to operate.
